Reviews

[Robert Engle · Rating 2 out of 5]

The second half of Her Martyrdom was ok. Definitely not my genre. I expect the writing would be considered better by someone more interested in the subject matter. Too many descriptions of detail that I personally don't care about but do set the scenes.

[Patrizia · Rating 1 out of 5]

Bisogna dirlo, non tutto quel che è autenticamente antico vale: questo romanzo è un orribile polpettone sentimentale, nel quale i 'cattivi' riescono a separare due giovani innamorati e fargli passare una vita di tormenti fino all'ultima pagina.
